Chapter 1278 - 849: Getting Along with Others (2)
This person, really.Jiang Nian didn’t mind, flowers in bloom go unappreciated. Should he wait until he’s over thirty, turning into a plump mature woman...
Seems fine too.
All in all, he’s a pragmatist. Once he decides on what to do, he will certainly keep going forward.
Then, if you gamble, you must accept loss.
"Southern Province is really nice." Jiang Nian straightened up, "With beautiful mountains and clear waters, marrying a wife here would be fantastic."
"Then get a house loan, get a car loan."
Struggling for the sixth generation and leaving behind a legacy, you can live a good life.
"Tch, then stay here." Qianqian sneered, "Running around every day, just like Mr. Ye’s love for dragons."
"I just want to leave opportunities for others." Jiang Nian was nonchalant, "We won’t come back in the future."
Upon hearing this, the two girls were somewhat surprised.
"What?"
"Really?"
Ultimately, young girls are inexperienced, and don’t have much attachment to their hometown, especially since their loved ones are elsewhere.
Returning home is merely a habit.
On the other hand, frequent returns to Zhen Nan. Or rather, the pressure to have to return there would be burdensome for them.
If they’re outside, the psychological pressure is much less.
After all, outside there is nothing they won’t face. Their small issues of love and hate, compared to what’s outside, are nothing.
Beijing is simpler, but if it’s in Shanghai.
Hmm...
"Of course it’s true, in poverty to Yuhang, in wealth to Shanghai." Jiang Nian estimated the housing prices.
Start envisioning this big plan, regardless of how long it might take to achieve.
"How much money do you need for that?" Qianqian frowned, calculating a rough estimate, "So expensive, so expensive."
Song Xiyun thought for a moment, "Yuhang isn’t easy either, but compared to Beijing, it’s easier to establish oneself."
"What about Shencheng City?" Qianqian asked.
"With our major, it’s hard to find a job there," Song Xiyun said, "Anyway, we can only barely make a living."
Jiang Nian didn’t join the discussion, he yawned and prepared to leave.
"Keep climbing, there’s still a path ahead."
.....
The three played until the afternoon and returned to the homestay to rest. The two girls were exhausted, directly curling up on a bed and falling asleep.
Jiang Nian wasn’t tired, just chilling.
To avoid disturbing their rest, he simply took his phone up to the balcony, playing with his phone under the sunset.
He first had a video chat with Zhizhi, who was lounging on the sofa happily, and Yao Beibei came over for a peek.
"Did you go traveling?"
"No."
"Then what is this?"
"In the mountains." Jiang Nian panned around with his phone, "Where did you play these past two days?"
"The Great Wall, so many people." Zhang Ningzhi covered her face, "We almost got separated while walking together."
"And then?"
"Went home and lay around, watching TV is nice too." Zhizhi had the demeanor of a homebody, still wearing a pair of glasses.
Thick black frames that made her look both nerdy and cute.
Cachaca, Yao Beibei hugged a bag of chips. Watching TV and laughing, the background sound was familiar.
Love Apartment.
Really no taste, not watching Armored Warriors.
At seven thirty in the evening, Jiang Nian couldn’t take the mosquito bites any longer. Hungry, he went downstairs and woke up the two girls.
"Dinner time, get up."
"Anyone not getting up at this time is a lazy dog."
Qianqian, exhausted and uncomfortable, half-awake and half-asleep. Angered from her side, she directly opened her mouth to bite.
"Oh shit!"
"Are you a dog?" He narrowly avoided it, dodging like Spider-Man sensed it, "Xu Qianqian."
"Your bite force is no different from a hyena’s."
"I don’t care!!" Qianqian yawned, hitting him, "Who told you to disturb me!"
There’s no arguing with that.
"Alright, alright, get up for dinner." Jiang Nian said, pulling up the other side’s Xiao Song.
"Wake up, you can come back up to sleep in a bit."
Song Xiyun: "...Oh."
The two girls, unwilling, were dragged downstairs by Jiang Nian. The meals in the mountains were decent, chicken soup and some fried fish.
Plus some stir-fried dishes, manageable to eat.
After dinner, they weren’t sleepy anymore. The three inquired about nearby attractions, and began to wander around.
"Going to watch the sunrise tomorrow?"
"Doesn’t that mean getting up early?" Qianqian was surprised, but thinking about that bed, she didn’t want to linger.
"Are we heading back tomorrow?"
"Why?"
"Miss my bed, this place is too simple."
"Okay, we’ll wake up early tomorrow." Jiang Nian finalized the plan, "Watch the sunrise, then go straight home."
Since they had to climb the mountain at night, the two girls didn’t freshen up. With the air-conditioning on, they lay on the bed and fell asleep.
At four in the morning the next day, the three left the house.
With flashlights on, they started climbing from the foot of the mountain. It was dark and hard to see, but Jiang Nian could always find the path.
By the second half, the two girls were somewhat exhausted.
Jiang Nian enjoyed it, hauling two with him.
It was almost inevitable that they had some physical contact, so later he just ended up carrying them one by one on his back.
Finally, they reached the top.
The three watched as the sky gradually brightened, a white line appeared in the distance, then turned from white to gold.
Finally, it turned into a cool, reddish-orange.
Sunlight, like a scorching river, spread from the mountain top.
To all directions, infinitely extending.
The forest was completely dyed, adorned with gold and jade.
"So beautiful." Qianqian sighed, taking a few photos with her phone, "Xiyun, let’s take a picture together."
"Oh, my gosh." Jiang Nian said.
"Hmph, you’re clueless."
"Hehe."
As the girls were taking photos, Jiang Nian joined them. If he waited to be asked, he’d just have to keep waiting.
On the way back, Jiang Nian drove alone, while the two girls slept soundly in the back seat.
....
In the blink of an eye, the National Day holiday was already half gone.
Jiang Nian took some time to visit the teahouse, and met with Xu Shuang, having a casual chat with a cup of tea in hand.
Two budding business tycoons naturally talked about wealth-related topics.
"If I found a 500-pound chunk of gold, how could I sell it off quietly?"
"Cut it, use a flame tool." Xu Shuang said, "You could make some jewelry, I can help you exchange it."
"If they find out, wouldn’t we both end up in jail?"
"At most, a fine."
"How do you know..." Jiang Nian stopped mid-sentence, "You don’t really have large chunks of gold, do you?"
Xu Shuang glanced at him, then sipped from her tea cup.
"No."
Chi Shi!
Who’d believe that!
Jiang Nian was impressed, giving it his all. Selling clothes for half a year might not be worth as much as Xu Shuang’s jewelry.
"It’s not mine." Xu Shuang said, "If my grandpa hadn’t held on last time, it would be gone."
"Huh?" Jiang Nian was puzzled.
"I can’t talk about it." Xu Shuang said, "My grandpa put it in the old house, saying it’s for my dowry."
Jiang Nian: "???"
No way, you’ve already said it.
Impressive.
He thought for a while, feeling like it was a trap. So he decided to change the subject.
"Need to bring a jacket when returning to school, it’s probably cooling down there already."
"Yeah, autumn is here."
After dinner, as usual, the two strolled through the orchard, stopping at the pond to watch the crowding koi.
Jiang Nian crouched down, preparing to make a mock move.
Suddenly, Xu Shuang asked.
"At school, are you simultaneously close with those two girls and Li Qingrong?"
Hearing this, Jiang Nian froze.
"What?"
For a moment, Xu Shuang didn’t know how to phrase it.
"You all....."
"Just, I think you all get along very well. I’m a bit envious, and I want to have some kind of relationship with you too."
Jiang Nian: "???"
"Aren’t we already friends?"
"Not friends." Xu Shuang took a step forward, "Between you all, it’s definitely not just friendship."
There’s no way Jiang Nian could admit that, he just shrugged it off.
"We’re not a good match."
"Why not?" Xu Shuang turned to look at him, questioning, "If we’re not suitable, why do you still come?"
This was truly unspeakable.
"I enjoy being friends with top students." Jiang Nian swallowed the latter part about her chest, too shy to mention it.
"Sigh, anyway, you won’t like this kind of relationship."
Hearing this, Xu Shuang turned her back to him.
"Have you read about the Ming Dynasty?"
"What?"
"In one’s lifetime, there is only one kind of success. That is to live your life in a way you love."
